I'm looking for ways to make heel/toe a bit easier, physically, for one with very long legs. Rather than bending my accelerator pedal, I like the idea of a wider pedal, so I am looking at the racing pedal set on Go Fast Labs' site. I have two question which I am hoping that someone with experience with these can answer:

--I would be replacing the stock pedal with this one, which I believe involves drilling out the rivets on the stock pedal, and riveting in the new one. Is this something an ordinary mortal can do at home?

--Does the wider accelerator pedal help significantly with the heel/toe?

Thanks.

 

I don't have them for the s2000 but I have had them on another car and installed them myself.

The install is very do-able. Basicly just a corded drill and some bits are needed.

 

PM ccarnel, he installed them.

 

I have them installed and used 'em once on track. Not bad, does help with heel and toe, specifically that you don't need to be so precise about where on the brake pedal you place the ball of your foot, at least how I do it. Good, cuz if you miss or slip....

Installation was somewhat a PITA - yes you drill out the old rivets but to install the new gas pedal you must drill 4 holes in the S2000's steel gas pedal ( under the cover you remove), then screw in screws into that (so don't drill too big or small). Yes, do get sharp drill bits and start the holes with small ones, and mark the holes precisely somehow. Dont bust a drill bit in there.

The brake & clutch pedals were easier, requiring just bolts once you drill out the cover rivets. I didn't do the dead pedal.

The critical thing upon first install I found was that the brake pedal was now too close to the floor (in relation to the gas), probably cuz of lack of rubber bumpers.. This meant that when you went to brake [rather hard] , you'd AUTOMATICALLY blip the gas and then some. Dangerous.

Before I found out there was a brake pedal height adjustment ( DUHHHHHH READ THE SERVICE MANUAL ) I fixed this problem by adding about a 1/4 inch thick rubber sheet under the brake pedal and used longer screws. Any nonretarded person (NRP ) would simply adjust the pedal.

The pedals don't slip at all under dry conditions - the ridges seem to work nice ( on the bead -blasted version I have ).

I initially found that the clutch pedal got slighly in the way when I went to rest my left foot but quickly got used to it.

 

I'll buy your stock pedals from you if you change them
